Have you had this problem? What is your car year, make, km or miles on it, how long have you had it, used or new when you bought it and what problems have you had? Did you get an additional warranty on the car and what has it done for you? I am serious, I have seen too many friends blow up cause they have a car that they can't use. They don't make cars like they use to. DO you go to the dealership for the repairs or have you had to go to someplace else to get it fix and how was the service? TIme to get this off you shoulders in a nice way please.

I have a 1995 Chevy Silverado ext cab, got it brand new with 100 miles on the clock when i made the purchase. i have never had a problem, but i always change the oil before it's due say 2500 miles instead of 3k or more. I did replace the water pump a couple of years ago i think in 02 or 03.That only ran me the price of a water pump with a lifetime warranty i know it was less than 50.00. I always make sure she runs good too so I always do a tune up on her as well. The truck's fuel pump did go out on me 4th of july weekend and i got the parts and did it myself. I got the pump and another part that was 60 bucks total. Took the bed off(it's the easy way) and replaced the pump. But some fuel pumps are way more costly than that. This is a V6 truck not a V8. My buddy needed my help with his 98 tahoe and in a 5 week span we replaced the pump 4 times.I know the pump was almost 200.00 with my discount, and the parts guy didnt tell us with that pump you need a special wiring harness that was 15 bucks.
My advice is stick with one store and one phone # so it's easy to track if a part goes out and has a lifetime warranty. Stay away from Vato Zone, and if you can shop at Advance Atuo parts or Oreilliy's. Also keep in mind some parts are dealer only parts. Like only Chevy has it Ford and So on. I hope this hepls you out. I have never had a major prob i couldnt fix,just keep up with it and check things out once a week/month, keep your fluids changed and dont be hard on the car/truck. If you rag it out all the time you will have problems.Peace Rob

You drive it, take care of it, get it serviced regularly, when it has a problem you have it looked at, when it breaks you get it fixed, when you get the repair bill you pay it, when you get fed up you get rid of it. Then you start all over again.
Everything else is details and too personal for me to discuss in public.

You ask too many question in one. Narrow it down if you want a coherent answer.
